Chapter 408 How Dare You

The broadcasters across every network were beside themselves with excitement.

The Millers' engagement ceremony had turned into a treasure trove of secrets. Viewership numbers soared like a wildfire, breaking all records. s

Not only had they revealed the extravagant, clusive Villa One on the mountaintop, but they had also captured the faces of some of Harmonfield's most beautiful women, all caught in a show that felt more like a battle than a celebration. But the real drama was unfolding live. Drake, not holding back, took the stage and completely demolished the Millers' reputation before the whole world.

As Hank wept, voicing his anger over the cruelty the Millers had to endure, a bombshell dropped.

Vera, the glamorous head of Silva Group, was suddenly rumored to be the lover of a powerful man behind the scenes of Villa One.

As the cameras zoomed in on her, the crowd-wealthy heirs and socialites-whispered and pointed at Vera.

Her eyes welled up with tears. She looked at Robin, trying to steady herself. "These are all lies," she said, voice firm.

Robin shook his head, just as confused as she was.

Vera's heart pounded. She turned on Alice, fury burning in her chest. "I never imagined you could go this far," she said, her voice shaking.noveldrama

"No matter what mistakes I've made, I would never sink that low."

Alice laughed, cruel and sharp. "Oh, Vera, you're only digging yourself deeper.

"Villa One's been here for years. Has anyone ever seen the owner?" she scoffed.

"But somehow, you managed to borrow it with no trouble at all.

"It's obvious the owner must be someone incredibly powerful, but you want us to believe it's Robin's?" Alice mocked.

"If it was, why didn't he tell me when he came to my family with the engagement ring?"

Vera's temper flared. She managed a bitter laugh, "Alice, would you have believed me?" she shot back.

"You didn't believe me the last time, even when you were standing right in front of the villa. So don't blame me for your blindness."

Alice turned to Raymond. "Mr. Hampton," she called, pointing at him. "You know the truth, don't you? Is Villa One really owned by some hidden big shot?"

Raymond gave a dry laugh, clearly uncomfortable. "Alice, it's time you woke up. Mr. Ramsey is not what

you think he is.

"I've always wanted to be close to him, but I couldn't. I'm just not in his world.

"But you- you had everything. You were right there, and you threw it away. You ruined the one thing that could have made all the difference.

"Ms. Dunn, Ms. West, and Mr. Rygar-they all have more power than you could dream of

"They don't mock Mr. Ramsey. They respect him. Do you think they're idiots?

"Maybe it's you who are too full of yourself. Too proud. Ever thought about that?

"As for the villa, I can't say if it's his. But I do know this-Vera would never sell herself for power or riches."

Zachary's face darkened, his eyes narrowing. "Raymond, you're supposed to be my friend. How could you side with them?"

Raymond shrugged, his smile faint. "Zachary, I've said all I can. I'm not trying to make anyone right or wrong. But I hope you'll think about what you're doing. Remember where we came from." димери

Alice wiped a tear from her cheek, her eyes flashing with cold fury. "So, now that Shirley and Daphne are with Robin, you think you can all gang up on me and the Millers?

"Fine. Let's make it clear. If Robin can prove that Villa One is really his, I'll bow right here and apologize to everyone in Harmonfield. Robin, do you have the guts?

"And you, Shirley-if that villa isn't Robin's, then why attack the Millers? You have no reason to. None.

"If you keep going, people will say that the Dunns are just bullies. Using their power to crush the weak."

Just then, Robin's phone rang.

"Mr. Ramsey," Logan's voice came through, respectful. The trainers with the mastiffs are here. Should we bring them to Villa One now?"

Robin looked around at the chaos in the room, then gave a slight nod, though he frowned. "Yes, send them."

Alice snorted, her eyes full of scorn. "So, now you're playing games with us. Do you think you can prove you own that villa?"

Robin glanced at her, his voice smooth and mocking, "I don't need to prove anything to you. And if I did, why should I hesitate?" Alice's laugh was bitter, her words sharp as knives.

"Robin, you think you've fooled everyone? The Millers aren't as stupid as you think.

"You used your tricks to win over the Dunns and even fooled Daphne," she spat.

"Shirley, Daphne, even Vera-they might look smart, but when it comes to relationships, they're just fools.

"You think you can just use them and claim you're a nobleman?" she mocked.

"You think I've been ignoring you because I'm afraid of you? You, a filthy woman like you, have no right to speak about me."

"Zachary ... he... he struck me!" Alice cried out, her hand pressed to the growing bruise on her cheek.

Zachary's anger flared. His eyes widened with rage as he stormed toward Robin, voice rising, "You pathetic, worthless man! You strike a woman in front of everyone here in Harmonfield? I—" Before he could get another word out, Robin reached out, grabbing Zachary by the hair and yanking him down. With a sharp motion, he drove Zachary's head into a nearby stone planter.

"I thought you'd all leave quietly after the ceremony. But you've gone too far. You really thought I wouldn't do something about it?"
